They don't have to come up with free to play titles, the idea is that all future games are shared across all device in any given ecosystem. If you buy Grand Theft Auto or The Last of Us for PlayStation, it works on PS4/PS5/PS Phone. If you buy NBA 2K or Halo 6 from Microsoft it works on Xbox, Surface devices, and Windows PC. If you by Fifa or Pokemon for Nintendo it will play on Switch or Switch Phone. It is all about extending the value of the software you are already going to purchase, and expanding the software you may purchase due to having it avaialbe at home and on the go. Additional free to play would be a good addition for the wider audience, but the aim would be to get the more than 200 Million people that are already buying AAA games each year to move from iOS and Android. The casual people that are only playing F2P on mobile and Facebook are not the target audience, but some may be drawn to the platform. As I said, the door is open for any company to go after the premium mobile gaming market. No one has built a legitimate Mobile gaming platform to date. We have only have compromised Handhelds, or compromised Phones. The market is their for the taking. It is not a market that is going to contend with iOS and Android in sheer market volume, but it is an extreamly high profit market with a large enough consumer pool to make a very nice profits for the company or companies that take advantage of it. |
You remind me of the Communists who say "no one has created a truly Communist country yet! All of them have been compromises! You can't say communism hasn't worked if it hasn't truly been implemented".
It's just that it's total horseshit that ignores reality.
Every single consumer electronic device. Every game console. Every handheld. Every phone. Every clock radio. They've all be built with compromises. But not yours. Nope. You're going to make a gaming phone without compromises.
- It's going to be far more powerful than any smartphone ever made, obviously have a far greater power draw when gaming than any smartphone on the market, but have the same, if not better battery life. It'll have have far more inputs that would need to made extremely durable for daily use - but still, it's ridiculous to think it would even cost the same as an iPhone. Instead of costing far more, it'll actually cost a small fraction of any current iPhone or Android phone because reasons.
- it's going to have all the features and apps modern smartphones have from day one, work just as well as an iPhone or android phone, be just as reliable, just as comfortable and easy to use as current phone offerings, but not be made by Apple or Google or one of Google's partners, as if Apple and Google and their partners don't spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year developing and maintaining their ecosystems. Meanwhile, in reality Sony, MS, Nokia and Blackberry failed to carve a lucrative niche in the cell phone market because they couldn't compete with Apple or Google's ecosystems. But Sony, MS, and Nintendo can do all that - and then some with this gaming phone because reasons.
- It's going to appeal to the 200 million gamers who are going to go out and buy $60 games for their phones that they can also play on PS4s but sell *far more* than the 155 million gamers that bought PS2s as if this phone is going to be super popular literally world-wide to the entire gaming market, and every Xbox fan, Playstation fan, or Nintendo fan regardless of how hardcore they are in their fandom are going to jump at the opportunity to buy a Playstation, Xbox or Nintendo phone - even if they have no interest in those other gaming platforms because reasons.
The the price isn't there.
The features aren't there.
The ecosystem isn't there.
The battery life isn't there.
The market isn't there.
What do you have left? A pipe dream. But you'd buy one, so clearly it's a great idea!
There is literally nothing about your idea that has any basis in reality.
